Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to machine tool processing equipment, specifically, to a machine tool chip conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] Spiral chip conveyors are suitable for CNC lathes, machining centers, and other applications, primarily used for conveying granular, powdery, blocky, and coiled chips generated from hard metal or non-metal materials. For example, Chinese patent CN105058156A provides a spiral chip conveyor for machine tools, which consists of a geared motor, universal joint, rotating shaft, spiral blades, chip guide groove, and a fixed plate. The geared motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the fixed plate, and the chip guide groove is fixedly mounted on the other side. A mounting hole is provided in the middle of the fixed plate, through which the rotating shaft of the geared motor passes and is connected to the rotating shaft via the universal joint. Spiral blades are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and are positioned within the chip guide groove. The geared motor drives the rotating shaft with the spiral blades to propel the waste chips and transport them to the chip outlet for discharge. However, in existing chip conveyors like the one described above, the outlet is generally fixed, making it inconvenient to adjust according to different processing space limitations or processing requirements.

[0003] Therefore, providing a chip conveyor with an adjustable outlet position that can be seamlessly connected to downstream equipment such as conveyor belts and chip collection carts in multi-machine tool joint operations or centralized chip removal systems is a problem that this utility model urgently needs to solve.
